I'm sorry, but I don't think it's reasonable to use the default option in
a traditional Condorcet variant. Selecting a result where the majority
would have preferred the vote to default instead of that winning is an
unacceptable result to my mind. Imagine an immediate revote on "Do not
enact resolution 12345", eg.

Which is to say that Cloneproof SSD alone fails "independence from
irrelevant options" in a very strong way.
